Trustees vote to restructure Interterm
By Dan Kohn
Assistant Editor of The Banner
Among other action taken by
the Board of Trustees last weekend were changes that will make
Interterm more affordable.
The trustees adopted the restructuring proposed by the Interterm
Review Committee which has
studied Interterm for the past
year.
Tuition rates will now be no
more than the "average cost of
tuition during the fall semester."
Because the College does not
charge for more than 13 units,

Career information
What are your career goals?
Undecided? All Cal Baptist
students are invited to take the
Eureka Skills Inventory. The
free inventory has a listing of
370 jobs, from which you
will receive a total of 30
occupations related to skills
that are important to you.
All it takes is 20 minutes of
your time. You will receive a
computerized printout and
more material about careers.
Stop by the Career Planning
and Placement Center, Room
138. Or call Rosemarie
Gardner at 689-5771, ext. 344
for an appointment or more
information.
Salary increase for all employees
the "average cost" is lower than
the stated price in the catalog.
For example, the cost per unit
this year is $176, but the actual
cost is $153 per unit for a student taking 15 units.
Room and board will be free
during Interterm next year. The
cost will be included in the fall
and spring semester bills.
President Russell Tuck felt that
the changes in Interterm would
have a big impact on courses,
pricing, and affordability. Said
Tuck, "We went about it the
right way. We had our best
minds at work on it and that's
what they came up with."
Tuck hopes the changes will
help eliminate the "psychological downtime" that currently
exists during Interterm.
Other significant changes taken
by the Board of Trustees included
an increase in salary for College
employees, acceptance of architectural plans for a science building, and authorization for the Executive Committee to enter into
a land lease/sale of the 15 acres
of excess land.
The board approved a 3% increase in salary for all employees. This increase, in addition to
an automatic yearly increase of
2%, is slighdy more than the increase in the cost of living of
4.8%.
New science building plans by
Inside/Out Architecture, Inc.
were also approved. The building, which would house science
classes and offices, a computer
center, and a temporary student
center, will be constructed "as
soon as funds are made available."
When asked how long it would
take until groundbreaking, Tuck
replied that it was "anybody's
guess." Tuck went on to say that
the College needed to improve its
financial standing before beginning any new construction.
"It is necessary for one, two, or
three major donors to build," said
Tuck. "It could break any time."
The delegation of authority for
the lease/sale of the 15 acres of
excess land was approved. The
College is currently considering
offers for the land. This authorization was designed to facilitate
the lease/sale of the land.
Paula Sheridan and Fred Deer
were granted promotions. Sheridan moves from assistant to associate professor of sociology and
Deer was promoted from instructor to assistant professor as the
director of academic computing.
The trustees also approved plans
for the College to begin women's soccer, men's tennis, and
women's tennis. The tennis
teams will play on new courts
that have been donated to the
school. Construction should begin this semester.
The trustees won praise from
Tuck for for their active role in
College affairs. Tuck commented
that the trustee involvement was
"exciting." He was pleased with
the way trustees were "digging
in" to find out about school problems.
Randy Hanlin, ASCBC vice
president concurred, "In my meeting, the trustees were aggressive.
They want something to happen.
They are more concerned than we
give credit for."
"The more interaction with students," Hanlin said, "the more
they realize our potential here."
Preliminary report released;
major proposals detailed
By Daniel P, Pryfogle
Editor of The Banner
Stressing that it is not a final document, administrators
released last week a preliminary report of the Strategic
Planning Steering Committee.
The 57-page report, presented to faculty, staff, and trustees, is, according to Dr. Dennis Sheridan, vice president of
student; life, "an incomplete
document and an incomplete
process."
With a mandate to balance
the College budget by June
30, 1991, the steering committee determined that a full
time equivalency enrollment
of 725 "should be sufficient to
balance the operating budget."

New program aids music department
By Dawn Keys
Feature Editor of The Bannner
Mozart and Macintosh? Wolfgang never had the opportunity
to combine his talents with a
computer, but think what he
could have accomplished if he
had
For the past decade, computers
have integrated themselves into
almost every aspect of our daily
lives. Through education, the
work field, and even recreation;
almost every one has come in
contact with some form of software at some point in recent
time.
Here at Cal Baptist, computers
play an important part in the
learning process. Lately, however, the music department has taken learning one step further.
For the last three weeks, the
music department has been excit
ed over its new music notation
package-FINALE. According to
Fred Deer, director of academic
computing, FINALE is the state
of the art, top of the line, and
most expensive system on the
market.
"FINALE now allows composition to focus on the creativity or
origination without the drudgery
of the mechanics of notation,"
says Deer. "Earlier compositions
were hand notated with pencil or
pen upon staff paper. The problem with that was that alterations
were a burden."
Continues Deer, "FINALE is to
a composer what the word processor is to a writer."
The FINALE package has a
wide range of capabilities for doing orchestral work as well as individual parts. As such, it's a tremendous tool for music theory
courses.
FINALE was selected because
of its graphic capabilities, ease of
use, and proliferation in music
notation work.
The FINALE package itself was
$1,000, and the Macintosh was
$1,800 for a total of $2,800.
There is a possibility that the
music departmenf may add a keyboard entry device for an additional $1,400.
The keyboard would allow compositions to be played. The
Macintosh would catch the notes
and prepare them to be printed on
the laser printer.
Dr. Beverly Howard of the music department states that FINALE will help expand curriculum.
Furthermore, Howard said,
"Students will be able to put to
work their knowledge of music
appreciation. It will put into
practice what they have learned
and spark creativity."
The combination of Mozart,
Macintosh, and our music department will prove to be a melodious mixture.
